Found a kit for a YJ but should fit. Or might just build them myself.

Interesting idea, the transition into the front fender is going to be a bit messy. How does that work?
maybe with tube fenders?

as a rule I am in favor of keeping CJs looking as much like CJs as possible but if I had rotten rockers I would be all over this. about 8 feet of 10 ga. cold rolled with a couple of breaks, this would be a walk in the park and I can see it being a cool thing structurally and in appearance. And of course built in rock sliders.

Im thinking about doing boat sides on my CJ7 . Who has done this to thier jeep?
I think I like them, Derf has me considering the XJ rear spring conversion, I've been day dreaming all day about getting a tubing bender and chopping up my fenders, and tomorrow morning I'm picking up an '87 suburban with a TBI350/SM465/NP208 combo... I might be slipping to the dark side...
Sorry for the wait.The daves unlimited one was the way Im going. Here was the other I saw that seemed feasible.

This one seems to include the front pieces where the other doesn't?
One thing to note the ones on the Pirate thread seem to enclose the cut away area in the front of the tub. Right at the firewall to keep it enclosed. I may change my mind.
Yup just took notice myself.

Thought I would bring this thread back. I want to see some picture of these installed 
I've been dreaming all day long on how I can put these on my cj with the stock front fenders without cutting them up. Had a fellow Cj lover give me a good deal on a set that have never been installed.

I dont see them working with standard Cj fenders. Usually if you boatside a project standard body lines arent required.
Id cut off the bottom of the fender at the angle it meets the tub if you get my understanding.
